Package: procps
Version: 1:3.2.8-2
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

for some situations it would be good if watch were able to display the
last output lines instead of the first ones (i.e. always run the command
to completion).

Use case at hand: "watch 'make 2>&1'", where I'm interested in the
errors that terminated the compilation (if any), not in the first 50 or
so lines of compiler invocations.
